Saving democracy via dictatorship?
- ahartmetz 6y agoWho would be the dictator and how would they not have any checks and balances?
- secondcoming 6y agoI'm not sure I understand your question, but the dictator would be the onewho decides what is and isn't acceptable, and it's a trait of dictators that they don't pay much attention to checks and balances. Of course, any dictator worth their salt will immediately ban any expression of discontent with said dictatorship. Similar to how in Thailand it's an offense to criticise the monarchy.
- arrosenberg 6y agoYou have the right to free speech, not to the broadcast thereof. When is the last time you saw a cigarette ad?
- secondcoming 6y agoCigarette ads aren't political. Cigarettes are a product, not an opinion or set of beliefs. Nobody walks into a shop and asks for a pack of '20 Right Wing', or '20 Menthol SJWs'
